Pressestimmen
"...engaging...a fascinating mix of opinion and scientific/philosophic discussion...quite readable and enjoyable...a book that should be in one's library." -- Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith
Kurzbeschreibung
Did the universe originate from a 'big bang' as argued by leading astrophysicists and others? Or does some other theory more accurately describe its beginnings? Are there other forms of life in our universe? What about other universes? Was our universe specially formed to support life? Does our universe have a purpose?What are the conditions under which life begins, evolves, and how does it become extinct? These questions propel "Modern Cosmology & Philosophy" as the leading text in this hotly debated area where science and philosophy meet. Edited with an introduction by noted scholar John Leslie, this volume offers superb selections on modern cosmology, relativistic theories of the universe, the Big Bang, the problem of God and creation, cosmology and verifiability, coincidences, origins and evolution, multiple universe theories, infinity, chaos, life forms, the end of time, and the limits of our knowledge.

Very interesting reading written by experts in their fields. One criticism is that there should have been more discussion of unresolved issues.

A very decent volume
4. März 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
This collection edited by John Leslie is a good addition to more thoroughfare "Philosophy of Religion" sorts of texts. In this text you'll find an assortment of well-known intellectuals who have contributed to the discussion of the problems for years; you'll also find material that is not (easily) found elsewhere. I recommend this text to instructors but also recommend that, when used for courses designed around a theme or problematic concerning "Reason and Religion" or similar, the text is supplemented with a broader volume focusing not only on cosmological arguments but also arguments of ontology and teleology.

How convenient; arrogance and stupidity wrapped in one!
5. Mai 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
I won't even get started on how poorly this book was written. Alas, such a book shouldn't really be judged on things such as grammar and syntax. It should however be judged on how insightful it is, the author's understanding of basic principles, and fair coverage of both sides of each debate. This book FAILS in all those regards. I must admit it is quite humorous to read Leslie state the obvious and act like he's just discovered a remarkable fact and is enlightening the world. I must say it's scary and disturbing that my school actually made me read this.
